Ed and Elaine Brown were convicted Thursday on all counts of plotting to kill federal agents during a nine-month standoff - Couple Gets Minimum 30 Years In Prison

Tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown were convicted Thursday on all counts of plotting to kill federal agents during a nine-month standoff at their fortified home in rural Plainfield, N.H.

One charge carries a mandatory minimum 30 years in prison. The Browns are in their 60s.

The Browns holed up in their hilltop home in early 2007 to avoid arrest after being convicted of tax evasion. They amassed an arsenal of high-powered weapons and explosives, including booby-traps in woods surrounding the home.

Ed Brown testified the weapons were for self-defense, saying he believed the government planned to kill the couple.

The Browns' arrests ended a standoff that lasted from January to October 2007, when Ed Brown, 65, a retired exterminator, and Elaine Brown, 67, walked out of their federal trial in Concord.

Sentenced to 63 months in prison, they refused to leave their Plainfied home, sustained by stores of food, supplies from supporters and a fan base stoked by constant postings and broadcasts on the Internet.

A source close to me informed me that the media has twisted the allegations on The Browns. It is yet another sad day in America when good people like this get thrown under the bus as a lesson to the resisters. Those who know The Browns personally; are the ones who know the truth and why they needed to be stopped. This is much deeper than evading tax my friends...

I followed the Ed and Elaine ordeal. I am really grieved hearing these tragic news!

Dr Kent Hovind tried not to pay the illegal US tax. He is now serving a ten year jail sentence.

The Browns "amassed an arsenal of high-powered weapons and explosives, including booby-traps in woods surrounding the home", what for? You do not threaten the US dictatorship!

My bankers' (Illuminati) elected President Nicolas Sarkozy promised me 18 knife stabs (like the German pregnant woman) if I dared walk the streets of Paris in my Niqaab. But, I would be luckier the Julius Caesar with only 18 stabs! I took up the challenge and will go to Paris next month with a cameraman, an old friend. The French Commissar will try to arrest me or us, but it will be A LIFE FOR A LIFE! If they put me in jail even for 24 hours for the crime of wearing a piece of cloth that the European aristocracy used to wear even at the beginning of the twentieth century or the Catholics of the Balkans, they better not release me the next day!

I am fed up with good people because they are cowards and selfish!

Ed and Elaine Brown did not have to face that ordeal if the Americans were not such cowards.

William Cooper did not have to be murdered by William Jefferson Clinton's henchman Goldsmith if Americans were not such cowards.

Lyndon Baynes Johnson had JFK murdered to take his place and reverse his policies, and what did the good American peole do? Practically nothing!

The US and Apartheid Israel carried out the attacks on the USS Liberty and those on 11 September 2001 and murdered more than 3,000 Americans, what did the good American people do? Practically nothing! They are outnumbered 300 million to one!

They are brave only to shoot down defenceless Native Americans, to finance Apartheid Israel and have Palestinians butchered and their lands stolen, to murder Vietnamese, Koreans, Afghans and Iraqis, but not brave enough to protect their own law-abiding and peace-loving citizens!

The IRS as well as the Federal Reserve should be dismantled, but how can we do it when the US is run by the military industrial complex and foreign bank gangsters who also own the media?

America is doomed! We need to resort to civil disobedience and if we have the rights to bear arms, SO WHY DON'T WE USE THEM FOR GOD SAKE WHILE WE STILL HAVE THEM?

Many Americans pile up stocks of weapons and ammunitions FOR WHAT?

I am really sorry for Ed and Elaine! The time has come NOW for Americans to stand up against the tyranny of their warmongering government and get rid of that alien Barack Hussein Obama who pretends to be an American citizen! TOMORROW, IT WILL BE TOO LATE! But, if we can't or won't, let us be their slaves for ever!

Many Americans simply do not understand that much of the federal income tax is required to pay the Jewish centra bankers their half-trillion dollar annual interest for providing us with worthless money created largely out of thin air, other than what has been borrowed from the Chinese and other hostile nations. There really is no legal authority for the tax, as two of the required states never ratified the amendment. The primary job of law enforcement is to keep the globalist-agenda monsters in power - people like the Bush family who financed Adolph Hitler's rise to power, and Bill Clinton who gave away America's technology and jobs to China and others (he demonstrated his own patriotism in 1969 when traveling to Hanoi and Moscow, according to R. Emmett Tyrell, American Spectator publisher who drew from U.S. State Department documents). Foreign readers, please keep in mind that Americans eat, sleep and breathe mass media propaganda, so that toseof us who tell the truth are seen as diseased, malformed, and potentially dangerous. America will, in all likelihood, be destroyed within a very few years. Immediately before this, the very last round of reassuring and idiotic sermons will be preached in the hation's churches. My God.

FYI Shlomo- there are many clergy (and their people) who are strong resisters of the NWO. When a church or organization is a non-profit entity... they belong to the government of the US. Social issues now become the pulpit notes from which many churches lead numersous astray. But the clergy that remain FREE (NOT 501c3) are now truly free to preach whatever they want... including standing against tyranny and acts of unrighteousness. Many Americans are and will continue to fight with all their being; and the ones with brains....... listen to infowar radio, and kick-butt sites like these.

"Ed and Elaine Brown did not have to face that ordeal if the Americans were not such cowards." Yea but they are slowly learning surrender is just as bad as death so I doubt the trend will continue when it starts getting hot. Ed and Elaine jumped to fast an chose to fight a war long before the first battle started and there's not much more to say except bad timing and its tragic they chose to give in.

I pay the tax because i consider it extortion money and its a fight you can't easily win and I'm not talking about court battles.

Recently the publisher of an alternative newspaper in a major U.S. city told me "They're just too strong for us" as we stood there and discussed the outrageous and illegal acts of tyranny and intimidation practised by the police, and the complicity of the local whore media, there. She is absolutely correct. It's an old and correct adage of war to first know your enemy. When you realise how bad it really is, the logical conclusion is to either give in or to discover a strategic method of exposing and nullifying their advantages (the classical 'third way' of dealing with tyranny - to flee - is no longer a viable option, as the police state has morphed into a worldwide phenomenon). If you will please tolerate it here, I will expose their use of the film industry to profit from their national security and criminal investigations and thread their tyrranical surveillance and plunderings into windfall profits. So.......two years ago (2007) actress Cate Blanchett spoke at Australia's 2020 conference in Sydney, discussing very candidly the collusion which several Western Governments (U.S./U.K./Australia) and their national film industries practise. Examples - Nicholas Cage's "The Weatherman" came directly from the FBI's ongoing illegal mail intercepts of Weather Underground founder Mark Rudd's mail. "Me, You & Dupree" came straightaway from the FBI's investigation of former New York Governer Eliot Spitzer and his prostitute Ms. Dupree (charging him about one week before he was to go public with damning allegations of grievous crimes committed by the Bush Administration). The various Irish and even Scottish-themed films from "Chariots Of Fire" to "Michael Collins", "Some Mother's Son" and "Braveheart" were partly sourced in the 1981 hunger-strikers of Maze Prison led by Bobby Sands, as various hostile states including Iran and Libya had come on board in synpathetic reaction for the Irish. I wrote PM Blair in 2007 following the British Government's awarding of C.B.E. (Commander of the British Empire, a 5th level honourary title) to Miramax Films' Harvey Weinstein. One of Weinstein's prior films was the 1995 "My Life So Far", in whic he depicted Scotish people (particularly Scotish Christian people) as sexually perverted and hypocritical. In the film's credits at the end were the words, "Dedicated in loving memory to Ian Charlesn", the British actor who portrayed Scottish Christian runner Eric Liddell in "Chariots Of Fire". Ian Charleson died of AIDS in 1990, so this was a humiliating wipe at the end of the film by a major Jewish film magnate. In my letter to the Prime Minister, I included a letter written to me from the White House, as I had previously expressed my views there. Baron Lord Michael Levy was then twice arrested on charges of selling national onours and inasmuch as he was Blair's Middle East policy architect (and, yes, controversy already swirled amongst the British populace and Government regarding his close relationship with U.S. President Bush), these matters led to the Prime Minister's resination. I was living in Las Vegas in the USA at the time, and President Bush came on national TV a few days later to disparage "those who have undermined our efforts, as in Las Vegas". It would take a rather longer space than is afforded here to relate all that took place then. In short, I can tell all of you that, in times of controversy, American law enforcement does not consider themselves bound by such historic relics as the Constitution or Bill Of Rights. About a year after these things, Dustin Hoffman's film came out - set in London, of course - titled "Last Chance Harvey". It properly ought to have been set "Last Chance, Harvey" (with the apostrophe), as it was a direct warning to Harvey Weinstein for the angst and costs he had brought to the elite. You'll recall that in "Wag The Dog" years earlier, Dustin Hofman starred as the collusive film producer who stopped cooperating with his Government handlers - and was murdered. My own materiel about the Governments' incestuous arrangements with national film industries at another website was taken down after a 24-hour warning - last February DURING the Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood! Now you know a lttle more about what we are up against, but only a little more. There is a great deal more to say here. It was actor Steve Martin who assisted in presiding over this year's Academy Awards, and it was he at the 1980 Academy Awards who cryptically said, "If you really want to know what's happening in America, look at the movies. Yes, where the entitlement practised by criminal Governt is threaded through titles, dialogue, themes and scenes in a very sophisticated, talented, and diabolical arangement you have been paying to view for decades now. Sincerely and in a real sense, "from within the Loop"..............Philip (my true name, I'm 59 years of age, my mother's family is from England and so my Jewish relatives, I presently live in the USA).

Interesting, got me thinking back to when that snuff film by Mel Gibson,"PassionO.T.C." was in theaters,how it had most of hollywood,"up in arms",including the mainstream critics' and news puppets'.he really pissed of alot of Zionists,i guess because they werent happy about what the movie said about the Jews.you know,their involvement in that barbaric murder of Jesus.but it's these same writers and directors who have always portrayed Italians(vatican?) as gangsterous, thug ,criminal murderers in movies and T.V.shows. So a catholic actor directs and produces ONE self-funded Movie based on a book, and he is no longer the sex-symbol,action hero he was made to be .the media now makes him out to be a raging drunk religious nut and of course, an anti-semite. which i'm sure i'm coming off as due to zionist programing and propaganda.I dont have anything against you , good sir. the Zionist agenda is the common thread that rus through our gov't,its agencies and all media outlets and controls it.
